We’ve saved well over $30K net being a BEV household last three to five years. Obviously high fuel prices driving some trends including this current trend (see link below).
Don’t know how many forum members are early adopters? While five years doesn’t really qualify in my book; two family members and a former colleague bought BEVs and called me before purchase specifically regarding our MME and Lightning. One bought an MME, two bought Lightnings.
Those three new BEVs were purchased a the regional dealer (serving coastal WA and Oregon. Ford should’ve aggressively supported new BEVs owners soliciting customer.s. But I absolutely agree that the dealer was ho-hum on The Lightning and MME.
I guess I‘m not too worried about depreciation as our 2 BEVs could be the last vehicles we buy given our low to mid 70’s ages and low miles driven as we are chilling in retirement, me in particular from 100+ mile road days.
It would completely weird but not surprising if the Iran war prompts a BEV or hybrid bounce.
